In a livestream,Cardi Bonce opened up about her journey to success, sharing the struggles she faced. She detailed the lengths she went to, admitting that she had to strip, take men to hotels, and even resort to drugging and robbing them. Saying (viaCNN),
I had to go strip, I had to go, ‘Oh yeah, you want to f— me? Yeah, yeah, yeah, let’s go back to this hotel,’ and I drugged n—– up, and I robbed them. That’s what I used to do

The video sparked a wave of disappointment among fans and critics both on Twitter, leading many to voice their concerns about the rapper. In response to the backlash, Cardi B quickly took toInstagramto address the criticism head-on, she wrote,
So I’m seeing on social media that a live I did 3 years ago has popped back up. A live where I talked about things I had to do in my past right or wrong that I felt I needed to do make a living. I never claim to be perfect or come from a perfect world wit [sic] a perfect past I always speak my truth — I always own my s—.
I’m a part of hip hop culture where you can talk about where you came from, talk about the wrong things you had to do to get where you are. There are rappers that glorify murder, violence, drugs [and] robbing. Crimes they feel they had to do to survive.
She went on to explain that her options were severely limited at the time, which pushed her to make tough choices. Since then, she feels she’s undergone a personal transformation. However, she did clarify her earlier remarks about drugging men, stating that they were never actually unconscious during those encounters.

Naturally, the online reaction was anything but kind. People took to the microblogging app formerly known as Twitter, launching the hashtag#SurvivingCardiBand drawing unflattering comparisons between her and R. Kelly.

Many users went even further, likening her situation to that of disgraced comedian Bill Cosby, who was sentenced to jail in 2018 for drugging and assaulting women. Many argued that just because the gender of her actions shifted, it didn’t mean Cardi B should evade consequences.
However, in the U.S., simply admitting to a crime doesn’t lead to arrest or charges, there needs to be tangible evidence that a specific crime occurred at a specific time and place and that the accused was indeed the one who committed it.
As of now, Cardi B hasn’t faced any legal repercussions, but the chatter about her past is louder than ever, especially after her recent appearance at aKamala Harris rally, where she passionately urged people to get out and vote.
